This is a beautiful, hand carved Native American Zuni Fetish carving of a lizard by artist Fabian Cheama. It has little inlaid turquoise stones as eyes. This piece measures approximately 4 3/8" long and 1 1/8" wide. It signed on the bottom of one foot "F/C" and on another "Zuni". The piece is in excellent condition, as shown in the photos, without any chips, cracks, damages or repairs.

About the Artist:
Fabian Cheama may be the best technical carver of the Cheama
family. The details in his work are often finer and more intricate than
those of his siblings. The etched fur and delicate features of his
animals are superb. He often carves tails that curl many times, and
perhaps this is both a bit of flourish as well as artistic license. His
fetishes now bring the highest prices of any in the family.
